“Matter and energy are equivalent, according to the equation E=mc2, where E stand for energy, m for mass and c for the speed of light,' 'Merapa explained. 'Matter can't be transported at the speed of light but energy can. Therefore, during a time shift transformation, matter is converted to energy then condenses back. In other words all the molecules in your body have been changed from matter to energy then back again.' 'Wow. It's a wonder it's not fatal,' Dirck said. 'Sometimes it is. If any transcription errors occur between the DNA and RNA in your vital organs you're all but dead.”

The Time Traveler was from January 13th, but today, February 3rd, I shot a selfie just before breakfast in the bathroom mirror and decided to see what it would look like transformed in AI:
SELFIE BEFORE BREAKFAST - first try made in Fusion mode and 60% prompt strength
SELFIE BEFORE BREAKFAST 2 this one done with the Artistic mode and 40% prompt strength
Prompt for both: Just another selfie before breakfast, looking in the mirror of the day to come. the modifiers were, among others, Mucha and Arcimboldo
The base image I used was this bathroom selfie from this morning:
you can tell, I needed some coffee fast, so the AI transformations were rather flattering.
